'Sense and Sensibility' by Jane Austen, adapted by Laura Turner

1 September 2011

The summer doesn’t seem complete without
some open-air theatre, so it was a pleasure to return to the gardens of Woburn
Abbey to see Chapterhouse Theatre Company’s production of ‘Sense and
Sensibility’. We had very much enjoyed their ‘Pride and Prejudice’ last summer
(reviewed here in July 2010) and this was equally impressive. It was a
beautiful setting on a lovely evening and the acting was universally strong (we
could hear every word!) with Heather Mason as Marianne Dashwood and Nicky Diss
as her younger sister Margaret the stand-out performances.
